The Reality of Employee Rights in Nigeria

The publication examines the extant state of employees’ rights as made available by the laws regulating them in Nigeria; as well as the regime of employers within the extant labour laws that promote the rights of workers in the country; this examination seeks to determine the true position of workers’ rights in Nigeria. The publication will reveal that there appears to be enough and sufficient laws to usher in enviable standards to ensure these Nigerian workers’ rights are protected and enjoyed by all workers but due to some limitations it is yet to achieve such aspiration. Employees’ rights found in Nigeria are not dissimilar to what can be found in other realms of the world.
